v.
BRENDA ROSALES,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 4:13-CR-51-1
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Brenda Rosales has
moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th
Cir. 2011). Although Rosales has not filed a response, she made allegations in
her pro se notice of appeal that trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance.
The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

No. 13-50680
Rosales’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to
consider the claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v.
Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014), petition for cert. filed (June 4, 2014)
(No. 13-10484).
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein.
We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal
presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the motion
for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further
responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
